Profile: https://flows.cv/caitlyn

Curiosity, engagement, and passion drives my work ethic as a designer. My goals within this industry are to foster sustainability and innovation in the technological products/services people interact with, to create memorable user experiences. One way I approach design head-on is through research and empathy, since creating this strong foundation helps me define user needs. It also allows me to explore even the most unconventional solutions - because sometimes the unexpected moves me a step forward to designing the solution that helps solve the problem.

Other outlets where I spew out my creativity lies in baking and sewing. Just with design, these hobbies of mine allow me to interact with people for feedback, helps foster growth and room to learn, and reminds me to have fun with what I do.

I am currently searching for full-time design positions!
